Bought a new processor, do I have compatibility problems with my Motherboard?

[Abhi Singh]

So i bought a Fx 6300 3.5 Ghz Black Edition to go with my Asus M5A78L M/USB3 motherboard. The problem is that there is no beep on startup whatsoever and no display as well, the lights and fans keep working but I get no beep or display of any sort.

Full specs: 4x2 Corsair Vengeance, Seasonic s12ii 620W.

If your motherboard wasn't bought at the same time as the processor and if you had another processor in there before, install the old processor and update to 1401 bios or newer.

It should be perfectly compatible.
It is listed on the site as being under the table of compatible CPUs, it's serial number is: FD6300WMW6KHK.

Ensure that all cables are plugged in correctly and the the PSU, surge protector and wall socket are all turned on.

If you had an old CPU in there before, the BIOS could just be freaking out.
Try using your old CPU to update the bios to be in line with the FX 6300, because it released after the motherboard, and is a refresh CPU.
Edit: If it is still not booting, check the voltage indicators if there are any.

Probably your motherboard needs BIOS update.

Thing is I only have one processor, my old one got fried.

Connector 8 on page 1-7 in the manual.

Are you sure, your motherboard survived death of previous cpu? It might be dead too.

BTW - CPUs don't die so easily. Motherboards do that way more often.

Yeah you're right. What happened was that my Motherboard got fried and so did my CPU as well, changed both of 'em.

Haha, probably something more important to note in your original post next time!
